Frodo Baggins was born on 22. September 2968 T.A. As hobbits go, Frodo was of medium height, with thick brown curly hair. He was not as fat as most hobbits.
Frodo was the only son of Drogo Baggins and Primula Brandybuck. His parents both drowned in the year 2980, so he was adopted by his uncle Bilbo Baggins, the wealthy bachelor. Upon Frodo's coming of age, Bilbo parted from the Shire, and left nearly all of his worldly belongings, including Bag End, to Frodo.
In 3018, Frodo travelled to Rivendell under the name of Mr. Underhill to escape pursuit of Sauron's forces. Along the way he received a near-deadly blow from a Morgul knife dealt by a Nazgul. In Rivendell, he volunteered to destroy the Ring in Mordor. Eight companions were chosen to accompany him on his quest.
He had many heroic adventures with and without the Fellowship before he finally reached The Cracks of Doom, where at the moment of truth, he claimed the Ring for himself. Shortly thereafter he was overtaken by Gollum, who during a fight for the Ring, bit off Frodo's finger, and fell himself into the fire, taking the Ring with him.
After the War of the Ring, Frodo lived for a while at Bag End again but he felt he no longer belonged, and so, in the end, he sailed over the sea with Gandalf and Bilbo.
